Deep Cut Gardens is located adjacent to Tatum Park. Sprawling over 54 acres (21 hectares), the verdant landscape is a haven for botanists and horticulturists. This property was originally purchased by Vito Genovese in 1935 and left to the creative efforts of Theodore Stout. Blending English and Italian styles, the design boasts a manicured parterre of over 50 varieties of roses that are represented by 180 bushes. The symmetric beds of native as well as cultivated plants, flowers and herbs encourages gardening enthusiasts. The rockery is a replication of Mount Vesuvius, which towers over Genovese's birthplace, Naples. Also on site are several greenhouses and a horticultural center.
